Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 274: Invite You to the Underworld

Chen Xin didn't expect that the person he had been looking for for about a week would appear in front of him like this.

[Name: Lu Shen]

【Age: 38】

[Public opinion survey bureau: Jipin City Branch]

[Position: Top Team Leader (Yang)]

……

Looking at the name of the Jipin Citizens Investigation Bureau Commissioner, Chen Xin smiled.

"The leader of the Skull God Cult also uses puns?"

Skull God...Lu Shen?
Just as Chen Xin was about to continue looking at the detailed information of Lu Shen, a prompt popped up.

"Insufficient permissions"

"Forget it."

After closing Lu Shen’s information card, Chen Xin started chatting with the Dirt Guy.

The more they talked, the weirder Chen Xin felt.

He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find it.

Re-examining the chat history between himself and the Dirt Guy, Chen Xin suddenly saw a word.

Yang style!

Is Lu Shen following the Yang School style?
Chen Xin was a little confused. The leader of the Skull God Cult follows the Yang School?
Thinking of those flying heads, Chen Xin couldn't connect them with the Yang School's style at all.

"Did I make a mistake?"

Chen Xin frowned.

If it was just because they looked alike, Chen Xin might have really doubted whether he had made a mistake.

But this name doesn't seem to be wrong at all.

There is no way that two coincidences can occur in the same person at the same time.

Therefore, the leader of the Skull God Cult is Lu Shen, this should be correct!

But why is he from the Yang School?
After thinking for a long time, Chen Xin felt that it would be fruitless to continue guessing, so he began to collect information about the Skull God Cult in Jipin City.

After all, Lu Shen is a top team leader in the Public Opinion Survey Bureau. If Chen Xin wants to get in touch with him, it is impossible without some support.

Two days later.

Chen Xin looked at the five clues about the Skull God Cult in Jipin City that he had found based on the information in Basson's memory.

Three of them are true, and the other two are false information that Chen Xin deliberately mixed in.

After everything was ready, Chen Xin sent a private message to Lu Shen through the internal channel of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

……

Jipin City.

"Old Lu! The director is calling you!"

"understood."

Lu Shen smiled at the other top team leader who greeted him, put down the things in his hands, and walked towards the office of Gong Yuanshuang, director of the Jipin Citizens Investigation Bureau.

Dang Dang!

"Enter."

Lu Shen pushed open the door and saw the capable woman with short hair sitting in the director's seat.

"Director, you are looking for me."

"Sit down, how are things going?"

Gong Yuanshuang shifted his gaze from the computer screen to Lu Shen, and his serious face softened a little.

"Not good. In the past month, one evil spirit has appeared inside Jipin City, and three have appeared outside the city. There are no less than twenty evil spirits, and nearly a hundred wandering souls."

"These are the priority dispatched to us after the system discovered them. Those supernatural events with low priority but not small threats have not been taken into account."

"In general, the probability of supernatural events is increasing little by little."

"At this rate of growth, the number of supernatural incidents handled in Jipin City this year will be five times that of last year!"

Gong Yuanshuang nodded.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We just need to do our part and leave the rest to the General Administration."

Hearing this, Lu Shen asked with inquiry in his eyes: "Is the General Administration doing something?"

Gong Yuanshuang nodded.

"I can't tell you the details. Your level is not high enough yet, but you are definitely doing something."

Gong Yuanshuang saw that Lu Shen was a little disappointed, and then smiled and said:
"You don't have to worry. The ranking will start in less than two months. I plan to send you. If you can get a better result in the top team leader ranking than our last time, I can apply for you to be a star specialist. Then you will be eligible to know."

"I?"

Lu Shen was really surprised.

"Yes, why, you don't want to go?"

"That's not the case. Wasn't it Team Leader Tang Hui who participated in the previous two top team leader rankings?"

Gong Yuanshuang nodded.

"That's true, but Tang Hui follows the Yin School."

Gong Yuanshuang stopped at that point, and Lu Shen understood.

People who follow the Yin school don't want to fight anymore when they get older. The more they fight, the faster the ghosts in their bodies revive.

When you are young, you can rely on your body's power to withstand the cost of ghosts' revival. When you are old, your body functions decline. It is normal to live one month less after using the power of a ghost once.

So he could understand what Gong Yuanshuang said.

"What about the other team leaders?"

Gong Yuanshuang shook his head.

"Don't worry about that. As long as you can achieve good results in the rankings, others won't have any complaints."

"If you can't, I'll carry it for you."

Lu Shen was stunned, looking at Gong Yuanshuang with a smile in her eyes, and remained silent.

Seeing this scene, Gong Yuanshuang's eyes showed a little disappointment, but it was quickly hidden.

"That's it. You have to rely on yourself to improve your physical fitness. But if you have any other requirements, I can accommodate you within my responsibilities."

"In these two months, you have only one task: improve your strength!"

Lu Shen nodded and then left Gong Yuanshuang's office.

Back in the office, Lu Shen kept tapping the table with his fingers.

As if he thought of something funny, a smile appeared on Lu Shen's face.

"Ranking, star specialist?"

Shaking his head, Lu Shen turned on the computer.

Before he even clicked into the task system, he saw a flashing message box.

When I clicked on it, I found out that it was someone from Mubei City.

"Sanjin: Hello, I am a level 3 information sorter at the Mubei City Investigation Bureau. Wu Gou introduced me to you and told me that you have some special insights into the Skull God Cult. It just so happens that I have recently sorted out some information about the Skull God Cult in Jipin City. I wonder if you have time to take on this task."

After reading the message, Lu Shen was silent for half a minute and then started typing on the keyboard.

"Shen: So it's Wu Gou. I remember him. He's a good information organizer."

"Deep: Regarding the information you mentioned about the Skull Cult in Jipin City, I don't know what level it is. You should also know that the tasks in the bureau are increasing."

After typing the message, Lu Shen waited for less than two minutes for the other party to reply.

"Sanjin: I have five clues about the Skull God Cult. I'm not sure of their specific level, but they involve the nine great masters of the Skull God Cult."

When Lu Shen saw the words "Nine Great Masters", his eyes narrowed.

"Deep: Nine great masters?"

"Sanjin: Yes, this is the information about the Skull God Cult that I found when I was sorting out the information about the Skull God Cult in other cities."

"Sanjin: By the way, although I am only a third-level sorter, I still have some insights into the Skull God Cult. Do you know Xiangzhu City? Last month, I sorted out all the information about the Skull God Cult in Xiangzhu City, and sorted out more than a dozen strongholds of the Skull God Cult. You can find out with a little research."

"Sanjin: So you don't have to worry about me. I'm just a level 3 comber."

Looking at the message from the other party, Lu Shen searched the name Sanjin in the system, and then Sanjin's task records appeared.

Although I cannot click on the specific content, there are more than a dozen pieces of information about the Skull God Cult!
After a full ten minutes of silence, Lu Shen finally sent the message.

"Shen: Great! It seems like you are going to walk the path that Wu Gou did not choose at the beginning again?"

"Sanjin: Haha, there's no other way. If you want to be promoted to a Level 2 Information Sorter, the Skull God Cult is a good choice."

"Sanjin: Compared to other sects, the Skull God Sect is simpler."

The corner of Lu Shen's eye twitched.

"Shen: If that's the case, then send the mission over."

"Sanjin: It's a pleasure to work with you." Soon, a mission regarding the Skull God Cult popped up.

After clicking accept, the five clues in the task details appeared in Lu Shen's eyes.

Looking at the three true and two false clues, Lu Shen laughed.

"He is a very capable person. The Public Opinion Research Bureau is truly an organization that thrives all the time. There is always new blood coming in."

That night, Lu Shen established a connection with Sanjin and started heading towards the location of the first clue.

……

"Whoo~"

Chen Xin blew a puff of tea leaves, looked at the photos and videotapes sent back from the scene, and clicked on one.

"Is this Lu Shen? He really follows the Yang School style."

Chen Xin raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched the scene in the video where Lu Shen showed no mercy at all.

"This method is quite neat and effective. From the looks of it, the physical strengthening exercises should have reached a very advanced level in the fifth version."

Chen Xin compared it with his own physical exercises and immediately shook his head.

Nothing compares.

Although they are both at the fifth edition, even if their progress is the same, Chen Xin's physical training is incomparable to Lu Shen's.

Time flies by.

In one night, Lu Shen cleared three of the five clues given by Chen Xin.

One of them was a false clue, but Lu Shen still looked for it professionally.

It took Lu Shen a whole day to clean up the two subsequent clues.

In the true clue among the two clues, Lu Shen met Bai Shuyao, one of the nine great masters of the Skull God Cult!

The two started fighting right after they met, and even Chen Xin didn't see any "surprise" or "confusion" in their expressions.

It seems that the two of them really don’t know each other at all!

But it was precisely this point that made Chen Xin finally confirm that Lu Shen was the leader of the Skull God Cult.

He learned from Basong's memory that the nine great masters of the Skull God Cult had all seen the leader.

And Lu Shen looks so much like their leader, but Bai Shuyao wasn't surprised at all and started fighting right away?
If an ordinary person saw this scene, he would probably be confused.

But Chen Xin, who was wearing a filter, would not be able to see through Lu Shen's flaws.

The incident ended with Bai Shuyao being defeated by Lu Shen and being shot in the head by Lu Shen.

But Lu Shen's body was not damaged.

It would be fine if Chen Xin didn't know, but he had seen the Skull God Cult's method of replacing heads.

Therefore, Lu Shen did not deal with Bai Shuyao.

After confirming Lu Shen's identity, Chen Xin relaxed.

in the afternoon.

When the task completion notification was sent, Chen Xin didn't think about anything and just clicked 'Pass'.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xin received a message from Lu Shen.

"Shen: The mission is completed. I have gained a lot of points. If you have any other information about the Skull God Cult, you can contact me directly."

"Sanjin: OK, I'll find you."

After sending this message, Chen Xin went home after get off work.

After returning home, Chen Xin called back the cloth dog Jiuri that he had thrown to the last scene.

"Well, did you remember it?"

"That's natural. I not only remember his smell, but also his cell phone number."

"Well done."

Chen Xin patted Jiuri's head, sat on the chair on the balcony and fell into deep thought.

Now he has confirmed the leader of the Skull God Cult, but there is a problem.

Lu Shen follows the Yang School’s approach!

If Lu Shen was a Yin school follower, then it would be too easy.

No matter how strong Lu Shen is, Chen Xin doesn't think he can be stronger than the underworld-level talismans in his hands.

Dingtian Lu Shen hid his strength, comparable to a blood disaster-level ghost.

But what is a blood-disaster-level ghost in front of a underworld-level talisman?
But now... Chen Xin has few choices.

Because he was not sure about Lu Shen's specific strength. If he threw the yellow baby over, the ability of the placenta would be ineffective against Lu Shen, and he could only rely on the strength of the yellow baby itself.

If the matter turns into a tug-of-war and attracts people from the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, Huang Ying will most likely be put on the bureau's blacklist.

After all, on the surface, Lu Shen is the top team leader of the Poll Bureau, and Huang Ying is a ghost who attacked the team leader of the Poll Bureau.

Therefore, it is not safe to send Huang Ying alone.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Xin finally came up with two solutions.

The first method was to collect evidence on Lu Shen and hand it over to the Public Opinion Research Bureau after collecting all the clues, allowing the Bureau to handle the matter.

But if this happens, he will not be able to obtain the "Yin De Points" of the Skull God Cult and the special ghosts that can be sealed in the staff of sorrow.

Chen Xin couldn't bear to do it.

The second method is to pull Lu Shen into Sanshan Village.

When you enter Sanshan Village, you will see not only Huang Ying, but also a big banyan tree, and three blood-level worm monsters controlled by the mourning staff!

If Lu Shen's hidden strength is stronger than what Chen Xin has revealed, then Chen Xin loses.

At worst, we can choose a new location and rebuild the underworld.

Chen Xin thinks this method is easy to implement and very reliable.

If he entered Sanshan Village, Chen Xin felt that he could go there and try his skills.

After thinking it through, Chen Xin released Jiu Ri again.

There is only one thing that Jiuri has to do, which is to find Lu Shen's location, let Chen Xin "see" him, and then Chen Xin will pull him into Sanshan Village.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin waited quietly.

"I don't know what the Skull God Cult leader's trump card will be."

……

It took Lu Shen one day and one night to eliminate the so-called Skull God Cult stronghold.

That night, he did not carry out any tasks but went straight home to rest.

At around two o'clock in the morning, Lu Shen looked towards the window of his room.

There, there was a head floating.

Walking over, Lu Shen opened the window.

"Check it out?"

"We have found out that Basong and Ruan Hua are dead. The information about the nine great masters was most likely leaked from them."

Lu Shen nodded.

"Don't commit any more crimes during this period. Wait two months."

"Yes!"

"Let's go."

Lu Shen waved his hand, and the head flew away quickly and disappeared.

"Bassoon, Ruan Hua..."

Lu Shen smiled.

"A third-level information organizer is related to the affairs of Basong and Ruan Hua. What role did he play in their deaths?"

Lu pondered deeply, but ultimately did nothing.

Everything will have to wait until the day of the qualifying round two months later.

As long as he can enter the dark space of the Ming Diao Bureau, his goal will be achieved.

It will still be time to settle the accounts then.

Thinking of this, Lu Shen turned around, picked up the cup, went to the water dispenser, and poured himself a glass of water.

He opened his mouth and the water went down his throat, but it tasted like alcohol.

Before Lu Shen could wonder how wine appeared in his water dispenser, he was sucked in by the fishhook that suddenly touched his tongue and disappeared in the room.

The water glass fell.

There was a clanging sound in the room.
